Gallery (New Orleans)

In New Orleans, a gallery is a wide platform projecting from the wall of a building supported by posts or columns. Galleries are typically constructed from cast iron (or wrought iron in older buildings) with ornate balusters, posts, and brackets.

The intricate iron balconies and galleries of the French Quarter are among the renowned icons of New Orleans.
